Corsair describes their Flash Voyager drives as ‘rugged, stylish, compact, reliable and exceptionally fast.’ The Flash Voyager supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0, although it is backwards compatible with USB 1.1. Corsair claims the Flash Voyager can reach read speeds up to 19 MB/s and write speeds up to 13 MB/s. The Voyager comes in capacities ranging from 128 MB up to 1 GB. The drive is plug-n-play compatible in Windows ME/2000/XP and even Linux and Mac. The Voyager is of average size, much smaller than some of the first USB drives, but still can not compare to the incredibly small size of Crucial’s Gizmo! But by far, one of the most interesting features of this drive is the fact that it is water resistant.

About half an hour after the drive was placed in the washer, the cycle was finally done. I pulled out the drive and noticed that it smelled exceptionally clean. When removing the cap, I noticed a little bit of water had gotten underneath. We were reassured by Corsair that this poses no threat and the water can not get past the external contacts.
